trivial poll

I was curious as I was packing my shampoo and conditioner while standing right next to the bathroom counter with unused hotel bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

Now mnfiddledragon says five more inches of snow at home this afternoon/early evening, and the Northwest website is being unhelpful. Well. We will go to the airport and hope for the best, and we have money, cell phones, books, and fruit leather. It's like we've done this before or something.

Let's try this again and maybe LJ won't eat it this time.

I use dandruff shampoo, and anyway hotel shampoos always smell like stuff. I don't use conditioner.

Three ounces of shampoo is two applications for me. (I have a lot of hair.) On the other hand, I don't wash my hair every day. For short trips I am more likely to wash my hair before and after the trip and not take shampoo at all. For longer trips, I would probably be checking a suitcase anyway (I have complex feelings about carry-ons, their intended purpose, and their abuses, none of which are germane here) and I'd have a full-sized bottle of shampoo in it. Only in the case of a stay lasting exactly two washes of hair - which time period varies - would decanting shampoo into the little bottle (if you find a travel-size bottle of dandruff shampoo sold commercially, you're one up on me) be worth the effort.

Non-hotel shampoos always smell like stuff, too. "Odorless" shampoo isn't. But non-hotel shampoos often smell like not-me stuff, so.

Decanting shampoo annoys me. In fact, decanting most toiletries annoys me. Possibly I am Just Cranky. It's happened before.
